The block designs were drawn in EQ5, while I was inspired by some old textile designs, and as I was drawing them I had to try them out in some quilt designs.

This was a mistake … but I love it!

I created the block and saved it before adding any colour apart from the background fabric, made a slight change then added fabrics. The ‘white’ version stayed into the scrapbook along with the slightly improved with fabric added version, and I clicked on it by mistake when I was adding a block to a quilt layout while holding down the control key. If it had the outlines turned on when I did it I would have just found the colour version and forgot about it, but love the lacy look!

I think I should try saving white versions on just a background fabric again!

About Virtual Quilter

I am a quilter who designs many more quilts than I will ever make, and I am sharing one quilt design every day in Virtual Quilter. I also share my completed projects in Stuff-Ups, and Christmas decorations in Christmas Everyday of the Year.

Some of the William Morris shapes and vines would look great without colour. The shape I made the mistake originally was inspired by William Morris, but I have been and will continue playing with designs unrelated to William Morris. Interesting results.

I am having lots of virtual fun at the moment … even when I make mistakes! The quilting designs are coming easier and more quickly with some concentrated practice … even more quickly than machine quilting sometimes!
